my nail polish collection.

i think it’s safe to call it a collection at this point.

i just can’t help it. especially when zoya has their promotions! [highly recommend this brand if you haven’t tried it yet. it’s becoming my favorite]

how do you guys store your polish? i’m just about at capacity. they really need to make a nail polish carrier (that’s not industrial or expensive)!

essential [tumblr influnced] purchases from rite aid.

pictured above:

• moroccan argan oil. i was previously using the coconut milk conditioner, but it wasn’t doing very much for my hair. so, here’s to hoping for silky smooth fabulous hair (hah!).
• essie’s turquoise & caicos. not sure what took me so long to actually buy this…i only own 500 other colors of nail polish.

so, thanks tumblr! influencing everything i buy since 2009.

i love surprises!

especially when it comes in the form of nail polish.

top: coat azure
bottom: the resort collection [fair game, your hut or mine, lion around & da bush]

currently wearing coat azure. so fun.

currently on my nails.

i’ve gotten so many comments on the color, too!

it’s light, fun & blue! [it’s also from essie’s new bridal collection shh]

well, hello there pretty color!

nice is nice brought to you by Essie’s spring collection.

essie describes this color as a whimsical light lavender. what’s not to love?

(okay, actually my mom brought it home tonight)

BUT, this really happened. And it was the last box.

And considering all I wanted was that one color they didn’t give me…

Who doesn’t check the box? How do I get 2 of one color? (I think someone swiped the colors since the boxes aren’t sealed. But, really??)

ULTA & ESSIE FAIL.

[think they’ll send me a free one???]

Yesterday when I was getting a pedicure I came across the new fall Essie colors.

I fell in love with the Going Incognito color. But then, I remembered when I was in JCrew last week I saw these nifty little bottles. They come in a four pack and run about $17 (since an Essie bottle is about $8 a pop it’s a pretty good deal!).

The four pack above includes masquerade belle, silken cord, hot coco & going incognito. And it’s such a good deal because really, who ever uses up an entire bottle of nail polish?

So, my question to you Tumblr friends is do they sell these little packages in major beauty stories (i.e. Ulta or maybe even BB&B)?

[if you really love the collection you can buy all 6 for $48 - IMO that’s a tad much, but, to each their own]

[and if you’re really curious what color I got on my toes - I went with the OPI Swiss collection’s Ski Teal We Drop]
